[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 452828"] Wow, you really need respite care. I had to look up most of the words that describe your kids. Does the 3 year old go to pre-school? Could school time be your time to yourself? I found some respite care by googleing respite care and my city. Sometimes there are organizations just for respite care. A book that has helped many here is called the Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I realize that it is mostly for mentally ill children and yours have neurological problems. I still feel that it might help. Dr. Greene teaches a new way of parenting where your not trying to fix everything at once. You work on the most important behaviors first. It helps with difficult children. My kids also have problems with potty training. difficult child 1 would get mad at us and pee in a corner in his bedroom. He still wets himself at school and has to take a change of clothes just in case. He is 11 years old. difficult child 2 still smears poop on the walls. Its frustrating and gross. I understand about the lack of help. I have family around but the only one willing to help me is my 84 year old grandfather. We've even not been invited to family parties because the other family members don't like my kids. (The last time this happened was only last week.) [/QUOTE]
